If you aren't trolling, you are ludicrously tall.

You would be significantly taller than most doors.

No no, I wasn't trolling, just stupid and on lunch and somehow remembered a teacher laying two foot-long rules down and saying it was a meter

Ignore me, about 2 meters total. 6 feet and 5 inches

...

A meter is almost exactly the same as a yardstick. Why would anyone use two rulers?

To get one of those cut off measurements, google yardstick rule 43

I got my education in a rural town of a backwoods region. They had a drive your tractor to school day. A lot of kids took the first day of bow or gun deer hunting off. I also don't think he had a yardstick, this wasn't a math class and so he had no business talking about units of measurement.

Fair enough, lol.

2 meters is tall but not crazy tall like 2,4 m
